We aim to deliver measurable fitness gains to all members. Those who have been inactive will find CRUfit to be a comfortable club where they can ramp-up slowly, establishing a routine appropriate for their needs. More experienced members will find the challenge they are looking for.

Our cycling theater is the coolest indoor cycling / Spinning* studio in our geography. The bikes feature direct power measurement which allows our members to get an accurate sense of their performance. Our cycling trainers are passionate road cyclists who are skilled at merging training, music and fun.

CRUfit is THE place to go for indoor rowing. Group rowing is a rhythmic, meditation-like form of training which is both full-body cardio and strength training. Our trainers are steeped in competitive rowing and coaching and bring a passion which elevates the group.

CRUfit History:

Mark Sutro and Mia Honore share a firm belief that training in a group setting yields better results for most participants. It's about the energy, the sense of community and the shared fun. They had the ambition to deliver outstanding group training programs at a neighborhood club where they could maintain close relationships with their local clients.

Mark and Mia were delighted to find the 6,000 square foot space on Medau Place in the Spring of 2013. This space had previously been used for a physical therapy and health club business and already had full locker rooms, showers, dry saunas and a large outdoor patio. The space was enhanced to include a state-of-the art cycling theater and a multi-purpose training space for rowing, TRX, boot camp and other group classes.

CRUfit was opened in November of 2013 offering 40+ group classes per week and personal training. Since the opening, CRUfit has added 15 new classes per week, youth programs which run year-round, childcare and massage.
